Total VAT = sales VAT − room hire VAT − trainer VAT. A negative total is reclaimable. Profit assumes room and trainer VAT is fully recoverable; no VAT is calculated on books / materials or other costs.
Profit = sales excluding VAT − course costs. Margin = profit ÷ sales excluding VAT. Break-even rounds up fixed costs ÷ (price − materials and other costs per attendee). Figures are estimates and assume the same room and trainer costs at every attendance level. Calculator inputs are saved in this browser. Signed-in course cost records are shared.
